Republican Thom Tillis to Keep North Carolina Senate Seat as Cal Cunningham Concedes
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In North Carolina, Democratic Senate candidate Cal Cunningham has
conceded to incumbent Senator Thom Tillis. The Republican's victory
guarantees the GOP will control at least 49 Senate seats - two shy of a
majority. In Alaska, Republican Senator Dan Sullivan has a big early
lead over Democratic challenger Al Gross, whose campaign believes he
still has a chance at an upset victory once all mail-in votes are
counted. Either way, the balance of power in the Senate will be decided
by runoff elections on January 5 for both of Georgia's Senate seats.
